Lightning Madness (Bat Country)
« on: June 26, 2014, 04:01:50 pm »

Welcome to the fruits of my boredom. The rules are simple, the success of your actions is determined by a coin flip. You may call heads or tails if you wish. Otherwise, I default to heads.

Sounds like the most minimalist system ever, right? Well, I suppose. There's not much I can do to stop you. But you get bonus points for RPing.

So:
You wake up in a large, darkened cockpit, surrounded by oddly identical-looking individuals. Looking at yourself, you see you look the same as they.

List of players:
Shadestyle
Harry Baldman
Fniff
Jack A T
Scotsmen
Lyeos
Prophet
Nunzillor
BlitzDungeoneer

Spoiler: ship map, not to scale (click to show/hide)

Rise above them all and absorb them into yourself to ascend to an even higher state of being.

(heads: success)
You grab a couple of the other figures, feeling their minds drain into your bodies as you squeeze their shoulders. You feel more aware and intelligent, though you still have no idea where the hell you are. The rest are beginning to wake up as the sparks from the cockpit's instruments strike them.

If this is a cockpit, where's the fish?

(tails: failure)
Your first thought as you awaken is to look for the fish that ought to be present, but you see only a number of other figures such as yourself sprawled around the place. One of them is glowing slightly and standing over the limp forms of another two.

(updated OP. You can call heads or tails, if you want. If not, I default to heads.)
Merge with the computer circuits
(heads: success)
You walk over to a sparking control panel and place your hands on either side of it, before smashing your head into it. You feel the wires enter your forehead and begin exploring the circuits with your awakened mind.

This place... this ship, it is alive. You feel it sitting half-awake somewhere, though you have yet to find its eyes or sensors.

Attempt to find a window or door in order to leave this current area!

You feel a need to leave, having witnessed one of the others apparently kill two people before smashing into the control panel.
(tails: failure)
There is a door in the back of the cockpit, but you cannot find any way to open it. Its too dark to see anything outside the windows. That, or they're tinted.

(tails: failure)
Freaking out at the sight that greets your eyes as you wake up, you immediately try to dive out through the nearest glass surface. However, these windows are made of pretty solid stuff. Ouch.

Smash the door!
(tails: failure)
The door doesn't seem to respond to your abuse. Either it's a very strong-willed door, or it's just a normal, strong door.

Ask the door, nicely, to merge with you, so you may take over all creation.
